Hi! Just wondering if anyone had an opinion on this?
I've been post menopausal for about 3 or 4 years.
I started on combined Evorel 50 from May following night sweats, hot flashes, loss of self (don't know how else to describe this) and other issues. I've been on this with no issues until Christmas last year when, after a virus my hormones went mad and I suffered a lot of anxiety though also had a little spotting. On checking with gp, she was not that bothered about the spotting and felt she'd be more concerned if there was "proper blood"
and backed this up with my clear scan from last year.
Gp changed hrt to Evorel 75 with provera pill. I've been on this now for a month and pretty much have had very sore boobs and spotting for 3 weeks with intermittant cramping. Is this normally? My next review (on telephone)with gp is in 2 months time.
Due to the sore/tender boobs and daily spotting, I got a bit fed up and was convinced the patch was providing too much oestrogen, so I've switched back to Evorel 50.
I'm now not sure if I've acted a bit hastily! Though through posts by others I understand spotting etc is a known side affect that lots of us have, and I'm probably second guessing myself and getting a bit stressed.
Do you think I have should have given the Evorel 75 and Provera more time and go back on it or just wait and see how it goes with the old hrt Evorel 50?.
